NMIXX are finishing up their tour that started last year with a 3 night “encore” finale at Inspire Arena. 6,000 seats were available for each night, and after fan club pre-sale, over 90% of total available capacity was sold. This in itself is also remarkable because NMIXX uses typical JYPe fan club set up where sign ups are only open for 2 weeks, once a year, and you have to pay over 30 USD to get it.
General sale opened today, and in less than 1 minute all remaining tickets sold out, with screenshots going around showing over 27,000 in the queue.
So total ticket sales for this 3 day stint at Inspire Arena will be about 18,000. They are also going to be playing the concert at cinemas on the last day, and no doubt if possible they will open additional capacity.
So what I wanted to talk about is to me, this looks like the company underestimated demand a bit. And that’s not the worst thing in the world, this isn’t a mistreatment narrative or something. It can be really rough if the draw is overestimated and a lot of seats are left, so there is something to be said for being a little on the conservative side.
Anyway all that said I feel like with these numbers we have now, it’s not unreasonable to say NMIXX could be doing bigger venues in Korea now, and adding a group to the list of girls groups who have done KSPO Dome concerts seems very possible. Either way, as a fan, it feels amazing to see how NMIXX has grown into a group with substantial touring ability and draw to be able to sell this much in Korea. It’s not easy to do in Korea, especially for girl groups.
